          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (UNAUDITED)


1.    CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The  condensed  consolidated balance sheet as of March 31,  2000  and  the
condensed  consolidated statements of operations and cash  flows  for  the
three  month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, have been prepared  by
Acap  Corporation  (the  "Company"), without audit.   In  the  opinion  of
management, all adjustments (which, except as may be noted below,  include
only  normal  recurring  adjustments)  necessary  to  present  fairly  the
financial  position, results of operations, and changes in cash  flows  at
March 31, 2000 and for all periods presented have been made.

Certain   information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included   in
financial  statements  prepared  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted
accounting  principles have been condensed or omitted.   It  is  suggested
that  these  condensed  consolidated  financial  statements  be  read   in
conjunction  with the financial statements and notes thereto  included  in
the Company's December 31, 1999 Form 10KSB.  The results of operations for
the  three month periods ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 are not necessarily
indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2.   ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In  June  1997, the  Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")  issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 131, "Disclosures
about  Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information."  SFAS  No.  131
establishes standards for the way that public business enterprises  report
information  about operating segments in interim financial reports  issued
to stockholders.  The provisions of SFAS No. 131 did not have an impact on
the  company  in  1998 since the company did not have different  operating
segments.  The Company acquired a material block of health business during
1999,  and  accordingly,  the Company began disclosing  information  about
different operating segments in 1999.

3.   EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income
(less dividends  paid on preferred stock of $47,406 and $46,250  for  the
three months ended  March 31, 2000 and 1999 respectively) by the weighted
average  common  shares outstanding (7,224 at March 31, 2000 and 7,240 at
March 31, 1999).

Earnings (loss) per common share on a diluted basis is computed by dividing
net income (less dividends paid on preferred stock of $47,406 and $46,250
for the  three  months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively by the
weighted  average  common  shares outstanding as  if  stock  options  were
exercised (7,224 at March 31, 2000 and 7,500 at March 31, 1999).

4.   STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

During the three months ended March 31, 2000, stockholders' equity changed
for  the following items:  Decrease in net unrealized investment gains  of
$32,066; net income of $12,966; cash dividends paid on preferred stock  of
$47,406.

5.  STATESMAN TRANSACTION

On October 19, 1998, Texas Imperial Life Insurance Company, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of American Capitol executed an agreement to acquire the  stock
of Statesman National Life Insurance Company ("Statesman").  To facilitate
the  Statesman  acquisition, American Capitol entered into  a  coinsurance
agreement  with  Statesman  dated November 17,  1998,  in  which  American
Capitol  coinsured, on a 100% quota share basis, a portion of  Statesman's
Medicare  supplement business effective October 31, 1998.  The acquisition
transaction  closed  on December 16, 1998.  Statesman  was  owned  by  the
brother  of  the  majority shareholder of Acap, and,  as  a  result,  this
qualified  as  a  related  party transaction.   Texas  Imperial  issued  a
promissory note of $100 to the sellers of the Statesman stock ("Sellers").
At  the  time of the acquisition of the Statesman stock by Texas Imperial,
Statesman  had approximately $1.8 million in surplus debentures issued  to
the  Sellers.  The Sellers' debentures backed the Sellers' representations
and  warranties and were to be adjusted based upon the outcome of  certain
post-closing  price  adjustments.   In  connection  with  closing,   Texas
Imperial  purchased an $800,000 surplus debenture from Statesman to  bring
Statesman's statutory equity to the level required by the Texas Department
of  Insurance  (the  "Department")  as a  condition  of  the  Department's
approval  of  Texas Imperial's acquisition of Statesman.  As used  herein,
the  "Statesman Transaction" refers to the above-described Texas  Imperial
acquisition  of  the stock of Statesman, Texas Imperial  purchase  of  the
$800,000   surplus   debenture  from  Statesman,  and   American   Capitol
coinsurance of a portion of Statesman's Medicare supplement business.

In  January,  1999,  it was discovered that Statesman's claim  liabilities
were significantly understated.  The liability understatement exceeded the
amount of the Sellers' debentures.  Given the mutual mistake of fact  upon
which  the  stock  purchase,  the  surplus  debenture  purchase  and   the
Department's approval of same were based, Texas Imperial, the Sellers, and
Statesman  agreed  to rescind the purchase of the stock  and  the  surplus
debenture.   However,  the  rescission  required  the  approval   of   the
Department.   The  Department did not grant its approval.   As  a  result,
Texas  Imperial  determined that the $800,000 Statesman surplus  debenture
was  uncollectible  and  recorded  the realized  investment  loss  on  the
debenture  in  1998  and wrote off its investment in  Statesman  of  $100.
Statesman  was  placed  in receivership by the District  Court  of  Travis
County, Texas 250th Judicial District (the "Court") on June 10, 1999.

On  June  10,  1999, the Court approved a Liquidation Plan  Regarding  the
Insolvency  and  Liquidation  of  The Statesman  National  Life  Insurance
Company  (the  "Liquidation  Plan") executed by  American  Capitol,  Texas
Imperial, Statesman, the Department and the National Organization of  Life
and  Health Insurance Guaranty Associations ("NOLHGA").  Pursuant  to  the
Liquidation  Plan, American Capitol and Texas Imperial  assumed  all  life
insurance policies issued by Statesman since September 30, 1998 as well as
all  of  the  Medicare supplement and hospital indemnity health  insurance
policies   in   force   in  Statesman.   Participating   NOLHGA   guaranty
associations  funded  the  transaction with  a  combination  of  cash  and
promissory notes.  In determining the funding amount, among other  things,
the  Company  received credit in an amount equal to the  $800,000  surplus
debenture  Texas Imperial purchased from Statesman during 1998  and  which
Texas  Imperial  wrote  off  at  December  31,  1998.   Pursuant  to   the
Liquidation Plan, at a prescribed point three years after the  closing  of
the  assumption  transactions, the actual results during  the  three  year
period of the Medicare supplement policies in question will be compared to
the projected results for that same period and, if the actual results have
been  better  than projected ("excess profits"), the participating  NOLHGA
guaranty  associations  will  be entitled to  participate  in  the  excess
profits  as a refund in an amount prescribed by a formula set out  in  the
Liquidation  Plan.   If the actual results are worse  than  the  projected
results,  the  guaranty associations are not obligated to  compensate  the
Company  for such shortfall.  The assumption transactions closed  on  June
18,  1999  with  an  effective date of June 1,  1999.   Approximately  $11
million  in  cash  and  notes were transferred to  the  Company  from  the
participating NOLHGA guaranty associations and approximately  $10  million
in  liabilities  were  transferred to the Company in connection  with  the
assumption transactions.

Other aspects related to the Statesman Transaction include the transfer to
the  Company of policy administration system software necessary to  enable
the  Company  to  administer  the Statesman Medicare  supplement  policies
assumed from the guaranty associations.

6.   SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION REGARDING CASH FLOWS

7.   NOTE PAYABLE

On  March  31, 1999, the Company repaid the $500,000 balance on  its  note
from Central National Bank ("CNB") by borrowing $1,500,000 from CNB.   The
balance of the proceeds from the  new loan was used to pruchase  a surplus
debenture from American Capitol.  The note  is renewable by the  bank each
April 30 until fully repaid.  The note bears  interest at  a rate equal to
the base rate of a  bank.   Principal payments  on  the  note  of  $62,500
are  due  quarterly (a  six year amortization)  beginning  April 30, 1999.
The loan agreement  contains certain restrictions and financial covenants.
Without the written consent of the  bank, Acap may not incur any debt, pay
common stock dividends  or sell any substantial  amounts of assets.  Also,
American Capitol is subject to minimum  statutory earnings and capital and
surplus  requirements during the  loan term.  The Company is in compliance
with all of the terms of the loan as of March 31, 2000.

8.   NOTES RECEIVABLE

In  connection  with  the  Statesman Transaction, seven  promissory  notes
totaling   $8,525,608  were  issued  by  four  different  state   guaranty
associations.  The interest rate on the notes is fixed at 5.3%.  The first
payment  of  principal  of  $4,437,313  along  with  accrued  interest  of
approximately $113,000 was paid September 18, 1999.  There  are  no  other
scheduled payments until maturity at December 2, 2002 when the balance  of
$4,088,295 and all accrued and unpaid interest is due.

The  promissory notes are essentially credit risk free because  the  notes
are  backed  by  all  member  insurers  of  an  association.   A  guaranty
association  has  the  statutory authority  to  assess  solvent  insurance
companies  doing  business in the state to meet its obligations.   If  the
maximum  assessment allowed in any one year does not provide the necessary
funds, additional assessments are made as soon thereafter as permitted  by
the guaranty association act.

             ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
               FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Life Segment

Life  premiums and other considerations were 24% higher during  the  three
months  ended  March  31, 2000 in comparison to the comparable  period  in
1999.   Effective  May 31, 1999, the Company acquired  certain  blocks  of
business  originally issued by Statesman National Life  Insurance  Company
from  participating  guaranty  associations represented  by  the  National
Organization  of  Life  &  Health Guaranty  Associations  (the  "Statesman
Transaction").   While  the business so acquired  was  primarily  Medicare
supplement  health insurance business, a portion of the acquired  business
was  life insurance business.  Whereas life premiums for the first quarter
of  2000  include  premiums  on  the life business  acquired  through  the
Statesman Transaction, life premiums for the first quarter of 1999 do not.

The Company receives an expense allowance for administering certain blocks
of reinsured life insurance policies.  The expense allowance for the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 was 12% lower than the expense allowance  for
the  comparable  period  in 1999.  The decrease in the  expense  allowance
during 2000 is due to attrition of the reinsured policies.

Primarily as a result of the above factors, total life segment revenue was
3%  higher  during the three months ended March 31, 2000 in comparison  to
the comparable period in 1999.

Life  segment  policy  benefits  were 82%  of  total  premiums  and  other
considerations during the three months ended March 31, 2000 in  comparison
to  100%  of total premiums and other considerations during the comparable
period in 1999.  The Company experienced improved mortality results during
the first quarter of 2000 in comparison to the first quarter of 1999.

Total life segment expenses (i.e., total benefits and expenses less policy
benefits) were 26% higher during the three months ended March 31, 2000  in
comparison  to  the  comparable period in  1999.   The  Company  currently
operates  on  three policy administration systems.  The Company  plans  to
convert  from two of the current systems onto the remaining system.   Once
the  conversions  are completed, the Company expects to  experience  lower
unit  costs  as  a result of enhanced capabilities of the system  and  the
efficiencies  resulting from being on a single system.  To accomplish  the
conversions, the Company added programming and conversion resources during
the  latter  part  of 1999.  The conversion process is  expected  to  take
approximately two years.

Primarily  as  a  result of the increased level of general expenses,  life
segment income before income taxes was $28,991 for the three months  ended
March  31,  2000  in comparison to $325,912 for the comparable  period  in
1999.

     Health Segment

Total  health segment revenue increased 471% during the three months ended
March  31,  2000  in  comparison to the comparable period  in  1999.   The
increase  resulted primarily from the Medicare supplement health insurance
and  hospital  indemnity health insurance business acquired in  connection
with  the  Statesman  Transaction.   Also,  the  Company  began  marketing
Medicare supplement health insurance in May 1999.

Total  health  segment  policy benefits were 68% of total  health  segment
revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2000 in comparison to  80%
of total health segment revenue during the comparable period in 1999.  The
lower  benefit to revenue ratio is attributable to the Medicare supplement
health insurance and hospital indemnity health insurance business acquired
in  connection with the Statesman Transaction and the Medicare  supplement
health insurance newly marketed since May 1999.

Total  health  segment expenses (i.e., total benefits  and  expenses  less
policy benefits) were 32% of total health segment revenue during the three
months  ended March 31, 2000 in comparison to 24% of total health  segment
revenue  during  the  comparable period in  1999.   The  health  insurance
business  acquired  through  the Statesman Transaction  and  the  Medicare
supplement  health insurance newly marketed since May 1999  has  a  higher
commission  rate  than  the business that was in force  during  the  first
quarter of 1999.

Health segment income before income taxes was $14,157 for the three months
ended March 31, 2000 in comparison to a loss before income taxes of $22,158
for the comparable period in 1999.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Primarily  due  to an increase in market interest rates during  the  three
months   ended  March  31,  2000,  the  Company  reported  net  unrealized
investment losses that were $32,066 larger than they had been at  December
31,  1999.   It is not anticipated that the Company will need to liquidate
investments prior to their projected maturities in order to meet cash flow
requirements.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT

The  1995  Private Securities Litigation Reform Act provides  issuers  the
opportunity   to  make  cautionary  statements  regarding  forward-looking
statements.   Accordingly, any forward-looking statement contained  herein
or  in  any other oral or written statement by the Company or any  of  its
officers,  directors  or employees is qualified by the  fact  that  actual
results  of the Company may differ materially from such statement  due  to
the  following  important  factors, among other  risks  and  uncertainties
inherent  in  the  Company's business: state insurance  regulations,  rate
competition,  adverse  changes in interest rates, unforeseen  losses  with
respect  to  loss  and  settlement expense  reserves  for  unreported  and
reported claims, and catastrophic events.


                        PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION

                        ITEM 1.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


On May 5, 1999, a civil action (the "Action") was filed by Martin L. Skeen
and  William F. Skeen ("Plaintiffs") in the court of Chancery of the State
of   Delaware   (the   "Court")   against  Acap   and   Acap's   directors
("Defendants").   The  Plaintiffs  asked  the  Court  (1)  to  direct  the
Defendants  to pay Acap the $800,000 lost as a result of the write-off  of
the  surplus  debenture purchased from Statesman in  connection  with  the
Statesman Transaction, (2) to direct the Defendants to account for all  of
the  transactions related to the Statesman Transaction, (3) to  require  a
new  election  of  directors after full disclosure  with  respect  to  the
Statesman  Transaction, and (4) to award such other damages and relief  as
may  be  appropriate, including the costs of the Action.  Plaintiffs  also
questioned the compensation of Acap's President in respect to the employee
benefit  "Split  Dollar"  insurance arrangement.   The  action  was  filed
without advance demand or notice to the Defendants.

Acap  has  consistently denied all of the allegations in  the  Plaintiff's
Original Complaint and has maintained at all times that the claims by  the
Plaintiffs are without merit. As previously reported, through a transaction
with the National Organization of Life and Health Guaranty Associations in
June 1999, see "Statesman Transaction,"  Note 5 of the Financial Statements
above), Acap, as a part of the transaction, received a credit in the amount
of $800,000 which was equal to the amount of the surplus debenture that had
been written  off in 1998.  To avoid  the costs of  further litigation, the
parties reached  a settlement agreement,  which has been  submitted  to the
court  for approval.  The  agreement provides  for (1)  dismissing  without
prejudice all of  the Plaintiff's claims against all of the Defendants, (2)
including  an agreement by  Acap to  have any  related  party  transaction
approved by a committee of outside directors, (3) allowing Plaintiffs access,
if requested, to Acap's records to  determine  whether there will be or is
likely to be any loss  to  Acap arising  out of the  events alleged in the
Plaintiff's Original Complaint, (4)  providing for  Acap's shareholders to
receive 30 days  advance written notice of the terms of  the settlement to
allow for any objection, if any, prior to entry  by the Court of the Final
Order, and (5) providing that Acap agrees to pay Plaintiff's costs ($17,000)
incurred in connection with the Action.

In  addition,  Acap and its subsidiaries are involved in various  lawsuits
and   legal   actions  arising  in  the  ordinary  course  of  operations.
Management  is  of  the  opinion that the ultimate  disposition  of  these
matters  will  not  have a material adverse effect on  Acap's  results  of
operations or financial position.
